Urban overcrowding is not a fresh happening, but it has recently become an international demographic trouble. The growth of the world's 'Megacities' such as Tokyo, Jakarta, Sao Paulo and Cairo, with populations approaching 20 million, is one of the most marked trends of recent decades. In 1950 for instance, New York City was only one of its kind among the world's cities in having more than 10 million inhabitants. By 1975 that number had grown to 15 million. By 2015 it is expected it will reach 21 million. (UNO 2005). Two principal reasons for this happening can be identified, one economic and the other socio-cultural. People migrate to the cities in search of both economic security and better social conditions. As the economy of a country develops, its cities develop as centers of industry investment and education, providing plentiful job opportunities for those in search of a higher standard of living. Sydney, Sao Paulo and Frankfurt are all blossoming up to date cities which have urbanized exponentially since the Second World War. A further example is Tokyo, the core for Japan's rapid economic development in the 1960s and 70s; its population grew rapidly as people moved there to find employment, and it is now the most populous city in the world (population 35.3 million). Not the entire developing nations, however, are ready to deal with such rapidly growing city populations. The dominant problem coupled with overcrowding is poverty and its attendant social deprivations - homelessness, unemployment and insecurity. immigrants to cities from countryside areas are usually the poorest members of urban society, and in many cities are often enforced to live in shantytowns or slums on the margin of the city with no access to clean drinking water or safe sanitation, in cramped and...

...INTRODUCTION
Overcrowding is when there are too many people (or cars) in a specific area so that the environment or services cannot cope. Bad town planning can cause overcrowding. Like having too many traffic lights in a certain area that slow down the flow of traffic and increase the congestion in an area. Narrow pavements also bottleneck many people into a smaller area and this can cause health and safety issues as people could be pushed into the roads if there are too many people for the pavement to handle. Also if a town is old in historic terms, overcrowding can also occur as it was designed for a much lower number of people when it was designed. When rush hour comes around as well, a street or area that does not normally suffer from an overcrowding problem can become congested and so very busy. This can also be the case if at weekends or bank holidays if there is an influx of tourists or out-of-town shoppers. Another cause of overcrowding in these times is if a small town is used as a through road by commuters. Cars parked along the side of a road can also bottleneck some roads into sometimes one-lane wide roads, also slowing down the flow of traffic and causing congestion, this problem is down to a lack of adequate parking facilities off of the roads of a town.
Causes
* Population of the area increase
* urbanization/urban migration
* more and better job opportunities...

...he walks into his job, there are questions. The man has several body modifications; a bridge piercing, ¾ inch ears, and a small star tattoo under his left cheek. Does this deem a man dangerous and loathsome? Or is he the embodiment of personal expression? Body modifications stand as an art form because of its expressive and aesthetic properties and its social statement against mainstream society.
IA. Body modification has been most notably apparent in ancient times, however western civilization has modernized this tradition in a fashion trend over the past 40 years or so. Body mods, a slang term for body modification, dates back as far as 5200 years ago since finding and carbon dating an iceman from the Italian-Austrian border (Anderson 1 of 3). Different cultures all around the world have practiced body modification for centuries. From warding off evil, to publicly marking a felon, body mods have respectively served multiple purposes in each culture, both functionally and expressively.
For example, Native Americans have used piercing, tattooing, and even scarification to express their spirituality, and identify different members of certain tribes. In Japan, the Yakuza, also known as gokudo are members of traditional organized crime syndicates in Japan, used the old Irezumi, a Japanese word that refers to the insertion of ink under the skin to leave a permanent, usually...

...The Illegal BodyParts Trade
With a world wide shortage of organs, the black market organ and tissue trade has grown out of control due to the rising demand from the sick and dying. This shortage of organs is fueling an illicit business of buying and selling all sorts of organs and tissues, often through involuntary donation. While it would be nice to have an ample supply of organs and tissues for sick people that desperately need them, the black market organ and tissue trade needs more enforcement in order to cease the profiteering of immoral and unethical transplanting of organs from human to human.
The number of people requiring a life-saving transplant continues to rise faster than the number of available donors. In the United States, over 101,000 people are on the Organ Procurement and Transplant Network waiting list, but there are only about1100 donors (“Data”). According to OrganDonor.Gov, 19 people die each day waiting for life-saving organ transplants (“The Shortage”). Society as a whole needs to find a humane answer to this widening gap.
One way organs and tissues arrive on the black market is from living donors. The desperation of some people that become financially destitute is dumbfounding. Why anyone in perfectly good health would sell any part of their body is beyond my comprehension. I understand the principle of donating an organ to help someone that needs it in order to survive, but parting...

India is passing through a phase of rapid urbanization, which has been ushered by general development, industrialization and the huge influx of population from rural to urban areas in search of better economic opportunities. What would precisely be considered as urban development is achieving balanced growth in an urban area with an eye to equity in employment, housing, basic services, social infrastructure and transportation. With the multifarious growth of urbanization, cities today are expanding alarmingly which has resulted in the haphazard growth of the urban areas. It is but that today, due to overgrowing population, the cities are not able to cater the needs of their inhabitants in a way in which it is actually required. The extensively found view is the inadequate water supply arrangements, chocked sewers, poor electricity and the streets full of pit holes unable to cope up the traffic. The most crucial of the problem which is faced in the pathway of the urban development is the growth of slums. The acute housing conditions and poverty are supposed to be the fundamental reasons for the mushroom growth of slums in the urban compass. This is a serious issue which intensifies the problems of local authorities, since the inundation of rural immigrants into the urban periphery increases their workload but gives nothing in return.
Slums have today...

In the global context, Urbanization is viewed as an essential trend for development for a couple of decades to come, this is especially the case in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asian countries. Cities in mentioned regions as well as other parts of the world are predicted to promote sustainable development of their respective nations. This is supported by the knowledge that urbanization if well-articulated can enhance economic and social well-being of nations; since the urban centers provide the facilities for production. Therefore, sustainability should be incorporated in all urban development plans in order to promote investments for middle and low-income members of the society. The developments should address the present and future needs of rural and urban regions of the society (Fitzgerald, J. 2010).
At the moment, approximately half the World’s population live in urban centers. Analysts project that by 2030, there will be an increase of more than one billion urban residents and by the year 2050, urban population will be between 2.5 to 3 billion people. Hence, the urban managers should develop sustainability mechanisms to accommodate the rising urban population.
Sustainability and overall development of an urban center entail enhancing...

How Long Till We Find The Body?

Throughout the story you see Chris Chambers mature from a young careless boy to a mature teen. It’s guaranteed in life that people will get older as time progresses. Being a mature human being doesn't just happen over night. Maturity depends more on a person’s sense of wisdom, humility, and responsibility. Being a mature person is knowing who you are as an individual and what you stand for. In addition, it is also where your priorities and responsibility come in place way, in which you treat certain situations. Maturity is the ability to respond to the environment in an appropriate manner. Chris matures in the story from life experiences he had encountered, whom many kids at a young age don’t experience. Maturity is shown throughout life experiences. Throughout this story it shows how the young boys soon come to an older mature age.
In the story there is a person who is suddenly facing a life changing experience, he was once naïve and childish but now he’s older and wiser because of the experience he encountered throughout his younger days. His name is Chris; Chris had a thought in his head of going to college and getting an education. He wanted to leave the town, castle rock and get as far away as possible....
